Found the gauge package, A few Webers, 69 Head and multiple spare parts. Otto, what is that item in the first picture? I was going to throw it away but not sure if I will need it here in the desert.
Gene is going to send me some keys to try in the ignition and trunk. The only thing I am really missing are the rear tail light housings and lenses. All the rubber is gone but I will be buying new whenever I get to it. Isn't the front and rear suspension the same as for the 69 GT?
Thanks for the help, everyone. I will keep you informed.
